Would love to work in a hospital for a couple of years to see it all - ICU, ortho, musculo outpatients etc.

Depends on the type of work you want in a QLd Health facility.

RCH is awesome, you have the whole spectrum, with Paediatric specific. So as a physio you would have a lot of CF, Cardiac and Neuro.

I have worked also at PA, which is okay. Northside Hospital District is excellent for CardioThoracic stuff.
Cairns Base I would never go to.

The Mater is excellent.

I suppose its what you are after, your passion.

How's this one: my nephew is with the Feds and has just been told he's got to go to Canberra and protect the Olympic Torch - talk about Cons! He doesn't know whether to turn around and blow it out himself!
